Description
Overview of the medicine
Silverpac-Tablet is a comprehensive multivitamin and multimineral supplement designed to meet the daily nutritional needs of adults, promoting overall health and vitality.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
One tablet daily, preferably with a meal, or as directed by a physician.
Elderly
Same as adult dosage, or as advised by a healthcare professional, ensuring no excessive intake of certain minerals.
Renal_impairment
Consult a physician. Dose adjustment may be necessary for certain minerals like potassium or phosphorus if kidney function is severely compromised.
How to Take
Orally. Swallow the tablet whole with water. It can be taken with or without food, though taking it with food may reduce gastrointestinal upset and enhance absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
Mechanism of Action
Provides essential vitamins and minerals that act as co-factors for various metabolic processes, support immune function, bone health, energy production, and antioxidant defense.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Gradual, with nutritional benefits accumulating over weeks to months with consistent use.
Excretion
Water-soluble vitamins and many minerals are primarily excreted renally; fat-soluble vitamins are eliminated slowly, primarily via bile.
Half life
Highly variable depending on the specific vitamin/mineral; water-soluble vitamins have shorter half-lives than fat-soluble vitamins.
Absorption
Varies by specific vitamin and mineral; generally absorbed in the small intestine, some requiring active transport or specific carriers.
Metabolism
Individual vitamins and minerals are metabolized via their respective pathways; some are converted to active forms.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- •Hypersensitivity to any component of the tablet
- •Hypervitaminosis (e.g., hypervitaminosis A or D)
- •Severe renal impairment (for specific mineral concerns)
- •Hemochromatosis (if iron content is high)
- •Wilson's disease (if copper content is high)
Drug Interactions
Thyroid hormones
Calcium and iron can interfere with levothyroxine absorption. Take several hours apart.
Antacids/H2 blockers/PPIs
May reduce absorption of certain vitamins/minerals (e.g., iron, B12).
Anticoagulants (e.g., Warfarin)
Vitamin K can reduce the anticoagulant effect. Monitor INR closely.
Antibiotics (e.g., Tetracyclines, Quinolones)
Minerals (calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc) can chelate these antibiotics, reducing their absorption. Take at least 2-4 hours apart.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, protected from light and moisture. Do not freeze.
Overdose
Acute overdose is rare with standard multivitamin/mineral supplements but chronic high intake of certain fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) or minerals (iron, zinc) can lead to toxicity (hypervitaminosis, mineral overload). Treatment is symptomatic and supportive, including discontinuation of the supplement.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Generally considered safe and beneficial at recommended doses for pregnant and lactating women, but consult a doctor to ensure appropriate formulation and dosage, especially regarding Vitamin A and Iron levels.
